These magnets are better than others I could find at my LFS. Quick easy cleaning.

This is one strong magnet. It does a great job cleaning the glass. The only drawback I have found is that it is hard to grip.

Strong bond. Larger than expected. By Jasperon 10/22/2014

I purchased the smallest size, and it's quite a bit larger than I expected. Expect to have trouble getting into tight spots, but very rapidly clean open areas.

The magnet bonds stronger than all other scrubbers I have used. I don't feel like I'll loose the inside piece if I move too quickly. It's secure and scrubs well.

Even works on Coraline By Johnny Seaon 9/23/2014

Purchased the Piranha and it is strong enough to even work through built up Coraline. Like others have said be careful with these they will snap together and catch your finger! If you let these get together without something in between be ready for a workout.

much better than a mag floatBy markon 8/27/2014

upgraded to a 1/2" thick acrylic tank, and the largest mag float I could buy locally just wouldn't stay connected, this is powerful and the pad they sent really scrubs well without scratching

love it!By Jenniferon 6/3/2014

I love this cleaner. the magnet is super strong, cleans really well and it has a much better look to it then a chunk of plastic for a magnetic cleaner. It would be kinda cool if they had different wood colors so you could match it to your stand. but it is a much more polished look than the others out there.

works like it says!By reef geek on 3/14/2014

works perfect on my acrylic just have to wash the pad a little to make sure theres no sand or debris and you wont scratch otherwise yes it is very powerful magnet and will leave a nice owy

Pay attention before use!By AlexLon 2/6/2014

AlexL would recommend this product to a friend

It works just as stated. Only thing you must be careful with is that the magnet catches from the back side of the scrubber also. And if there's any hard build up, and you swipe, you more likely will scratch your glass. That's how i got a 6 inch scratch in my front glass :(
So please be aware of what side it's on before use.
Other than that its the best magnet scrubber ever used.

I have always had Mag floats; but with this new very thick acrylic tank, it just wouldn't hold on, let alone clean anything. Ordered the Floating Tiger Shark and I have to say I am very pleased; not only with its hold...these magnets are strong, but the cleaning ability, and the extra pads included. I feel this magnetic cleaner will last me much longer than any product I have previously used.

great product and very strong magnetBy turbotone on MRon 1/13/2014

turbotone on MR would recommend this product to a friend

I've owned a few different types of magnetic cleaners and these are above them all.. what i would recommend is do not go with the plus 1 method with these bad boys.. get what your need in your size criteria.. these magnets are strong!!! a few swipes and its clean.. i could only imagine a stronger one will be very difficult to move.. definitely would recommend..

Beast mode magnetBy Collinon 12/15/2013

This magnet is industrial strength. After a few pushes across the glass, your arm will get tired---and that's a good thing! Lots of power to clean those stubborn algae spots.

Hi Jerry,
For most applications I prefer the magnetic cleaner. Its always in the tank and super easy to just run across the tank a few times every day. The power cleaner I find handy for more "stuck on" stuff but its not as convenient on a day to day basis. Honestly I usually need to bust out the powercleaner if I have been gone for a few days and not used the algae free magnet cleaner.

Will the piranha clean coralline algae from the glass or will I need a cleaner with a scrapper blade like the flipper? Do you recommend of those above the other?
Thanks

Hi Robert,

The Algae Free glass cleaners are a great product but they will not be able to remove coralline algae from your glass on their own. I would recommend attaching the scraper to it which will allow you to remove more stubborn green algae as well as coralline. I use this at home and love it!http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/easy-blade-algae-scraper-1.html
